Re: Software 3.1

Sigh. More waiting. I feel for all of you early adopters. When they say “later this month” that means they’ll inform us later this month right? Not that the service will be starting later this month. That’s exactly what they mean. They will inform you all of when they plan to start the 2.4 rollout ...

Re: Enabling Travel Assist with OBD11

You need to have TA switched on before it shows multiple lanes. Well yes, that goes without saying! Not necessarily- to clarify - because you can have just the ACC on and it will just show only your lane (and if there is a car on the RHS to stop you undertaking) - the other two lanes appear the mom...

Re: Enabling Travel Assist with OBD11

It’s actually like the Leon one but without fancy animations (or a curve in the road)… and all the cars in the VW screen are little id3’s 😁 You need to be in a road with multiple lanes - otherwise there no lanes to have anything in the lanes next to you 😂 The animations actually serve a purpose tho...

Re: Enabling Travel Assist with OBD11

One other cool thing of activating TA is the display on the binnacle. When you activate it instead of just having the lane ahead and the car in front the ACC is latched to highlighted in blue - but you get the lanes either side and all the cars/trucks in those lanes too. Worth scrolling to the larg...

Re: Rear seatbelt alert for child seat

Works for our kids, 7 and 9 years old. What kind of child seats do you use? Same here - the flat base of the child seat (and it’s Isofix so supported at the back) spreads the weight - so it won’t set off the bum on seat sensor… 😁 Oh I didn’t know that. Is there a way to change how it senses the sea...

Rear seatbelt alert for child seat

Hey, does the ID3 alert you when someone is in the rear seat and does not have their belt buckled?

I’ve got a child seat but no alerts come on if a child is sitting there with the belt unbuckled.

Is there a setting for this or does it just not detect children below a certain weight?

Seat Leon Travel Assist

Just discovered this video of Travel Assist in a Seat Leon. It seems far more advanced than the "cutting-edge" Travel Assist in the ID3. The display reflects the car's position in the lane as well as any curves in the road. Lane markings are animated on the display as the car drives past. ...

Re: Enabling Travel Assist with OBD11

That’s very cool! What else can you add to the car with OBD11? The most useful thing is to turn the very intrusive lane assist off or get the car to remember you turned it off for every ignition cycle. Some messing with the ambient lighting, I set mine to fade in and out when going on or turning of...

Re: Delivery time

So collection of our ID3 was not the smoothest. Pick up delayed 2 hours later while they charged it, then had issues getting WeConnect ID working with the car. Good news is it’s a 22.5, side sensors, tweaked interior which I do like and it’s running 3.0. Will attach some pics. Regarding the app, th...

Re: 3.0 Software Update

No I think 1ST and 2021 cars will get an update to many modules and will be on 2.4 then OTA’d to 3.x. But it’s going to be the end of the year before that starts. I wish I had that confidence in VW and obviously it would be nice to see the updates, but as per the comments above, there are many modu...

Re: 3.0 Software Update

As a software developer having to use 2.3 really tests my patience. Sometimes I just sit and stare at the screen wondering how VW could possibly have messed this up so badly when other companies shipped software that never got OTAs but worked flawlessly the first time. If 3.0 fixes the laggy softwar...

CANCELLED TOUR UPDATE Our (cancelled) Tour has left the factory. I was given the opportunity to uncancel. I haven’t; SWMBO wouldn’t let me! This is sad but funny. What’s the latest on the Y? It seems VW like to follow Tesla so much that even your ID3 decided it won’t be ready until your Model Y is…

Yup, connecting it to the app was easy. Just scanned the QR code on the cars screen.
